Letter 86

B.H. 21 Sivan

My brother, my brother — my heart and my flesh! Behold I am writing with a heart full of tears — from within the great joy — over the miracles and the wondrous good things of the Tzadik, the new light of all lights — the pure, lustrous brilliance. And over the awesome causes that the Master of Mercy — the Master of Compassion and Grace — arranged with us. That He illuminated our eyes and opened our hearts — to long and to yearn and to pine… who reveals — Blessed be He. Blessed be He — 21 Sivan.

When one of Israel receives new honor — then great labor and a great battle are needed — with power and heroism — to stand in this. To overcome oneself not to make use of the honor for one's own needs and benefit, Heaven forbid. And not to take for oneself anything at all from the honor, Heaven forbid. Only to elevate all the honor that one has entirely to its root — to Hashem Yisburach and to the true Tzadik — in order that it magnify… For through this the honor that one has (for the Tzadik) — the honor of Hashem Yisburach will be magnified and elevated — in order that through this the repair of the world come about — of our generation and all the generations — and the honor of the true Tzadik, the leader of all Israel from generation to generation for all the future generations to come.
